What a week we had.

We had a very interesting week, Chris had to go to hospital on Tuesday because there was something wrong with his lung. The dr's still aren't sure what it was but its getting better now. Chris had been home for a week. He is back off to work on Monday in his new Group Leader job. He will be doing Schoolies after the holidays which will be perfect for him. :) Also a payrise too which will more then likely mean we lose part parenting payment but I am ok with that. No more relying on Centrelink.

I have nearly finished the Long-Stitch I am working on. I will put a pic in here of it next week. I am quite proud of myself how good it has come out. Next thing on my things to do is getting this lambkin finished and then I mite start on another Long-Stitch for my mum for xmas. Talking of xmas I am off to the Kmart Toy Sale next Thursday. I will only have Willow so hoping she is going to behave herself. I know exactly what I want to get the girls so hopeful we will be back by lunch-time.

Time to get going, got some stuff to do.

Busy Busy Busy!!

Been busy as usual. Chris has taken the girls to a playcentre for the morning to give me a break and its so nice. Willow has a cold at the moment so a bit miserable today. :( She has gone back to having her day sleep as she still needs it otherwise she is a mess around 5pm. Skye is good. Chris just turned 41 2 days ago. We had a lovely Bbq last week to celebrate it.

My long-stitch is nearly finished. I am going to do some more on it this arvo. Its look so good. Chris is going to make me a frame for it. This is my next project:-

I got some material from spotlight yesterday. So I am hoping it turns out ok as I haven't had that much experience in sewing. But gotta start somewhere don't you. I hope to make the girls some cotton tops for summer as they are much cooler. Its going to work out cheaper too making there clothes and most of the clothes for Skye are so expensive when she moves up to the young girls sizes.

I have YET another cold. :(

As the title reads I have another cold. This has to be about the 4th cold already this yr. Chris and Skye keeps bring them home from Daycare. Thankfully the horrible Gastro hasn't made it to this house just yet.

I have been busy today making a card for Chris's dads partner Clare who is very sick. She has Parkinson Disease and to top it off keeps having Strokes. So she is in a pretty bad way. She is losing her memory quite bad now which is so sad. I have only met her once when she visited up here in Qld and she was a very nice lady. Chris's dad thinks the world of her. Anyway here is a pic of the card I made. I cheated and brought a get well card from the shops but everything inside is done by me. Its called a tea-bag card. :)

Tea Bag Card

I ran out of glue which I was really annoyed about. Hence why the paper didn't sit down on the card. Wood glue is just the wrong glue to use but I had nothing else at home. Oh well Clare will think the world of it.

I have done a bit more on the Long-Stitch but I really have to get stuck into now so I get the other Long-Stitch done for my mum. Always busy busy atm. Me and Chris are just so exhausted by the end of the nite. The girls are well. Willow has finally got a tooth and is happily playing on her own atm. Skye is at daycare. They have a incubator in her prep room atm and the chicks have been hatching and the children can see how they come out of the egg. The children love it. The people that supply the whole chick kit as you could call it is called "Henny Penny Hatching" They come back and pick the whole lot up in 12 days and the chicks are re-homed to farmers. The chicks are not caged and free to walk around on these farms which is great to hear.

I also got some more stuff for our 2 Fighting fish. They are doing so well and I haven't killed them yet. lol. We have had them for a month now and thought they were worth a up-grade in their little tanks. Here are a pic of them. I am quite impressed how good they look. I have actually got a bit attached to them. lol. Cuddles are budgie is doing great. I will take a pic soon. He is looking a bit worse for wear atm because he is getting all his adult feathers and losing his baby look. He is a chatty little thing too, loves every-one.
